Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, when she started talking, she felt a sore throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe too, and she also had a low fever. I would like to ask: what can infants and young children with tonsillitis eat more to reduce crying?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with dietary adjustments. Encourage the child to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, as many fruits have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying while being rich in vitamins. This can help boost immunity and resist diseases. Examples include pears, apples, kumquats, and kiwis, all of which are good choices. In terms of dietary selection, it is best to choose easily digestible options, such as congee and noodle dishes. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to avoid consuming irritant foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef or lamb. Parents should also help their children develop good eating habits, ensuring cleanliness and health while avoiding pickiness and partiality in their diet.
